This is the 1st teacher training institute to foster the higher degree in special education for mental retardation in whole of Punjab, More than 25 special schools for the Mentally Retarded children are functioning in the state and there is acute shortage of special educators in these special schools. The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, which is going on in the state under the scheme of the central government has also launched a programme for the education and training of mentally retarded children in the age group of 6 to 18 Years. Trained special educators are also required to teach the mentally challenged children under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. As per estimate, approximate one lac children with mental retardation require proper education, training and therapeutic treatment. For this purpose teacher student ratio is 1:8 and as such thousands of special educators are required rehabilitation professionals are also required for home based rehabilitation of mentally challenged children. Numbers of other projects for the rehabilitation are also functioning under the grant-in-aid schemes for the disabled children and degree holders in special education (Mental Retardation) will provide the man power for this neglected field, which has not been explored so far in Punjab State.
